Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of load wheel 97H3504800?
A: Load wheel 97H3504800 has factory-precision-molded polyurethane tread mounted on a steel core. Tread hardness is 93-95 Shore A, engineered for high-duty warehouse cycle operations.
Q: What equipment does load wheel 97H3504800 fit?
A: Load wheel 97H3504800 is a factory-spec replacement compatible with Raymond and Caterpillar pallet jacks and lift trucks that support load wheels. Cross-reference: Caterpillar SK58130225JE and Raymond L500654. Verify your equipment model accepts this wheel size before ordering.
Q: What material is the tread compound on 97H3504800?
A: The tread is engineered high-performance polyurethane with 93-95 Shore A hardness mounted on a steel core. This polyurethane compound delivers durability and precision control for heavy-cycle warehouse operations on standard floor conditions.
Q: How long does a 97H3504800 load wheel typically last?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on duty cycle intensity, surface conditions, and load weights. Heavy warehouse use may require replacement every 12-18 months. Regular inspections for tread wear and steel core damage help predict replacement timing.
Q: Are there equivalent part numbers for 97H3504800?
A: Yes. Load wheel 97H3504800 is equivalent to Caterpillar SK58130225JE and cross-references Raymond L500654. Always verify equipment compatibility and wheel specifications before substituting alternative part numbers.
Q: What is the recommended storage method for 97H3504800 load wheels?
A: Store load wheels in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep wheels off the ground on racks or shelving to prevent flat-spotting and damage to the polyurethane tread.
